Vacation rentals with lake access in Tompkins County

This home was a piece of heaven on earth during graduation week. It felt so good to have a homestead for our daughter to come to, and have all three generations of us together during such a special time.

We enjoyed our stay in this very peaceful lakeside setting. There is an attached deck to the house, a lower level patio with table and firepit, and stairs to lake level, to accomodate all physical abilities in having an enjoyable time here. The home is well stocked and very comfortable. The road is nice for taking walks. Thank-you Michelle!

This was a great stay for my partner and I as we visited some friends in the area. Reliable host, exactly what was presented on the app, and clean. It was a great place to come back to after a packed day of playing tourist in Ithaca!

Andy's place was the perfect spot for our ladie's weekend! The house is so nice-clean, quiet, all the amenities, comfortable beds and an amazing view! Andy gave us great recommendations for food and wineries nearby. He responded right away and was super helpful! I highly recommend his place when visiting the area, it's peaceful and cozy, but near everything! We had so much fun, thanks again Andy!

Wow! What a nice place! Close to downtown Ithaca and a short drive to Cornell. Best part of all: gorgeous views of Lake Cayuga and access to the lake. We loved it! Many Ithaca AirBnBs are dark and dreary. Not this place! It was bright and beautiful. Be sure you can navigate steps effectively, because you’ll need to take many to get to this AirBnB. The benefit is that this place is quiet and secluded. Thanks for the great stay!

This place has a sweeping lake view from a bay front window, a patio, both queen bedrooms, another patio and the dock. the picture don't do it justice. The dock has a picnic table - if you're not using it, you're missing out! There's two single person kayaks and a double kayak, as well as a a stand-up paddle board, which makes this place an amazing value and are close enough to Ithaca (about a mile) that you could reasonably paddle to a landing at Truman Marine Park or Stewart Park. This place is down approximately 90 steps - pack light.

We loved our stay on the lake. The house was as described and had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed having use of the kayaks and waking up to beautiful views of the lake. I hope we can stay again!

This is a great location for a weekend spent visiting Ithaca, Cornell, enjoying the Apple Festival, and seeing all the gorges and the waterfalls. The leaves are turning and the fall colors are spectacular. We even went swimming in the chilly lake!

I stayed at Jamie's place with two other girl friends from my doctoral program to progress thesis writing. The apartment was very comfortable and the internet was reliable. We were a short walk from some nice places to eat so we could also enjoy Geneva (Cosentino's and Eddie O'Briens Grille & Bar). Jamie was very responsive and flexible. The whole weekend was a great experience and we are very thankful. The only issue we had is that the bar was showing the Miami football game and not the Syracuse game. They graciously changed channels on one TV at our request but what is wrong with this town.....supporting a Florida team over the 'Cuse??? Go Orange!!!! If you stay at Jamie's, strongly suggest coffee for a sunrise or your favorite beverage for a sunset in the cupola...you can see the whole quaint town and the lake in the distance. ...so serene.

The location is great—right by the lake with stunning views. The apartment was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The host was responsive and made sure our stay was comfortable. Highly recommend this spot for a peaceful getaway

Lots of character in a beautiful historic neighborhood. Walk to park, downtown, and unbeatable lake views! Will return to the area and highly recommend Jason’s apartment - very clean and cozy!

Loved staying at the cottage! Very peaceful, perfect for one person or a couple visiting Geneva. Quick drive to town but in a quiet area. Would absolutely stay here again!

David & Debby are wonderful hosts! We had a cold and rainy weekend for our stay, but their cozy home was just perfect to keep us warm and snug. Comfy beds, squeaky clean, and such a beautiful view. We will definitely be back!

Our Sister provided this wonderful place to stay in for our Nephews Wedding. Even the visit was short it was a wonderful place to stay Geneva has a wonderful feeling super nice people and unbelievable food. We are planning a trip back to this area ❤️

Lovely stay with super responsive host. I was a little confused which door to use at check in but Stephanie responded immediately and I got in with no issues. The place is perfectly appointed! So much roomier and cuter than you expect from the pictures. Really, it is lovely inside! A welcome bottle of wine from a local vineyard was there as well :) I have severe food allergies so always need a kitchen to prep my food and this one had everything I needed. The bedroom had plenty of storage to unpack and the bed was really comfy. I slept great! Two things of note (they don’t detract, just be aware): 1. Steps are steep going down and up, and pavers uneven, and there is a step to enter the bathroom. Something to be aware of if you have limited mobility. 2. Wifi available but pretty weak. I would not have been able to work using the cottage wifi. Again, doesn’t detract, just be aware. I was so pleased with the cottage and the experience with the host!!! 5 stars all the way!!!!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Peggy’s boat house is. This is my second time staying here and I have never stayed at the same ABB twice. This time I brought the kids because I wanted to share the beauty of this place and Ithaca and I knew they would love it. Sitting on the dock fishing and enjoying the views on Cayuga lake is so peaceful and relaxing. Peggy is a very welcoming host and keeps the place very tidy. There are so many things to do. Ithaca Falls is a very short drive away. Buttermilk Falls is a bit further away (not much) and is a beautiful hike. Great restaurants are nearby. I love the area and would love to come back someday.

We loved our stay at the Megan house! it's obviously an older property but it's well taken care of and well loved. the location was exactly what we were looking for, right on the lake with excellent views, and close enough for adventures in the Ithaca area. the beds were comfy and Roy and Molly have excellent communication and are very clear in their recommendations and requests. we would definitely stay here again.

The place was great. We had everything we needed. The deck and dock are really beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful! Spent the weekend celebrating our anniversary. So peaceful and quiet. The lake is literally out the back deck door. We took a slight wrong turn and I reached out to Elaine and she helped us out immediately. She was even waiting at the cottage to make sure we found it. The cottage was so clean and cozy. We can’t wait to go back. Thank you Elaine!

Our stay in Lodi was amazing. Beautiful view of the lake while watching tv, cooking or just playing a game. Very Peaceful. Easy to walk our dog. Love how the bedrooms are on each side of the house as well as bathrooms as to not disturb one another... beautiful.. many wineries and breweries for tastings, & most are Dog friendly too! So easy to sit back and relax! My daughter & boyfriend loved hiking and also did some golf! This was a Beautiful getaway and the host was so great and attentive. So clean and so comfy.

My husband and I stayed at Stephanie & Kishan's adorable cottage while visiting family for the weekend. The cottage is well cared for, has a beautiful big deck (which we couldn't use due to the rain). It's very quiet and in a great location for all of the areas activities. We hope to come back again soon and get to enjoy the lake and area. Next time we are hopeful for sunshine.

Very peaceful setting! Was just the perfect place to get away for a few days. Wish I had more time to stay. The home was great with beautiful views and perfect dock for fishing. The host was also very kind and very responsive.

We had a wonderful stay on the lake! Beautiful views with a peaceful and private location. The kitchen had so many supplies, there was even a crockpot! We felt right at home!!

Brian and Melissa’s place is lovely. Very clean. Furniture and beds extremely comfortable and great location across from the Lake and about 5-7 miles from the cute town of Skaneatles. We were there on a rainy night but did take the short walk across the street to the dock which was beautiful. It’s a nice place even on a cold rainy night with the electric fireplace and comfortable couches! I’m sure it would be a great summer spot too!
